Windows Copying Estimation Time... FAIL

[DcF1337]

I don't really hate [Windows Vista], but it is a bad system. Many features are just rip offs of Macs'. Even the fact that they released Windows 7 shows how bad it is.

You're kidding, right? Having features that appeared in another OS is not a bad thing - if they're good features, I'd want every OS to have them. And having a new version does not show how bad an old version is because all software gets upgraded from time to time to make it better, even the best software out there, as long as the developers still care about it.

I'm not blaming Windows for the features it has. I'm blaming the producers' creativities. I don't really see a great improvement between xp and vista except for the graphics, but better graphics don't make a better game.

But come on, how long could it possibly take for a system to be replaced if it wasn't that problematic? Think about xp, it's still dependable.

To me, windows is a system which gets gradually slower and slower and you have to reformat it sometime. I have been using a mac for about 3 years, and haven't had a speed problem since. It's simple, and better and 1000 times less problematic.

OS X is really good at keeping the disks constantly defragmented, that's why Macs don't really seem to slow down. Also, most viruses don't even work on OS X, so you can pretty much download all the malware you want and still not get infected. But if you're willing to go the extra mile to defrag every now and then, run a few virus scans and what not I assure you your computer won't slow down as much.

On another note, Vista sucked so bad I bought a Mac. Windows 7 is so awesome I completely abandoned the Mac.

I snapped this as I copying a bunch of pictures from one computer to another... I didn't know the pictures took up that much space!

lol, It actually finished copying a few minutes later.

Your proccessing speed may have decreased a lot for some period, making the time remaining to be really high... Anyway the speed "shown" is more than 10 Mb/sec...

You are wrong. Who wants to play a game with 5 year old looking graphics? Graphics are what makes the game awesome, and more enjoyable. People decide on games with how they look. What you said could apply to xp too. I have Vista and I never got a problem. It doesn't crash, no viruses, etc. Well maybe it's because I don't download hacks or other illegal stuff. I don't know...

Haha, maybe that's why...

Please tell me the difference between a NES and a Sega CD, 32X or between Atari 2600 and 5200. Gameplay always comes first along with the creativity.
